[Scalapack] failing test cases of scalapack

Hi Julie,
thanks for reply.
I got scalapack now running on my laptop. I will speak with our comp.
administrator about the previous problem.
Thanks,
Tomas

Hi Tomas,
Sorry for the late answer
you need to use the mpirun or mpiexec command.
The synthax will depend on the MPI that you are using.
You need to read some documentation about how to use your MPI and
especially how to specify/start the node where you want to run.
but the command should be something like:
mpirun -np 4 /xCbtest
np means number of processors.
Hope it helps
Julie

Dear,
today, we tried to install scalapack and thanks to your efforts of
making the python installer, I think/hope we are close to success.
However, while the tests of the installation are running we are
confronted with the following error which we fail to get a grip on.
The error is the following:
BLACS ERROR 'Illegal grid (2 x 2), #procs=1'
from {-1,-1}, pnum=0, Contxt=-1, on line -1 of file
'BLACS_GRIDINIT/BLACS_GRIDMAP'.
Enclosed, you can find our history log and the full scalapack testing log.
The strange thing is that the error seems to complain that mpi has
not initiated 4 processors, in contrary to the command driving the
execution (we are guessing that it is linked to 'comm =
self.config.mpirun+' -np 4 ./'+testing_exe' in the pyton script).
At the moment, we are a bit clueless so any help is appreciated.
thanks in advance,
Tomas
